Preparing for sea

These men will stay out at sea for 5 days to catch fish. They sleep, cook, eat, drink tuba (local coconut wine), together.

Pineapples

As we were double-parked at Imelda St. (named after Imelda Marcos and now officially renamed Veteranos Ave but still called by the locals Imelda St.), we saw this truck unloading "queen" pineapples to a fruitstand. These pineapples come from Ormoc City, where they have pineapple and sugar plantations. They're sweet and cheap.

Street Scene Series: Pedicab 2

I had to run out of Gloria Jean's Coffeeshop to take this photo. Young teens collecting scrap metal and holding up traffic. Not that there was any :-)

They're fixing the road.. which is always being done over here. During the rainy and busy season.

I guess it's the heat.. and the fact that nothing is going on except us passing by this empty road.
